300c Hurst!

post a link!!

Oldsmobile is going to be so pi...... Wait a minute, they went out of business, didn't they? I have to say, that color scheme looks so 70's to me.

That orange stripe looks nasty. The plastic engine covers are also a big turn off. I'm also not a fan of chrome wheels.

Gee thanks! I just barfed all over my keyboard. I didn't think it was possible to make the 300 uglier! I was wrong!

I think that this thing is meant to have a bridesmaid effect. The bridesmaids at weddings wear hideous dresses so that the bride looks beautiful. The Hurst is painted in horrible colors to make a regular 300 looks good.

Well, if that what it takes. ;-)

Better this than what GM had to resort to when nobody bought Pontiac Azteks...they practically gave the ugly pieces of s*it to their employees so the Azteks would appear on the road to give the illusion of market acceptance.

Well the Aztec sells better than the GTO does!

But I agree, the Aztec is about as ugly as they come. Perhaps they need to try this bridesmaid effect too!

Yeah - that is something for Pontiac to really be proud of!

They remind me of dough mixers in bakeries. If one is in front of me, (unlikely since Pontiac drivers speed) I can imagine the cover lifting, rotating blades stopping, and clunk, throwing out 200 pounds of dough for the missing table.

Kind of like the Japanese brand of car that had a "ATM" in the tailgate 15-20 years ago.

Don't remember that one, but it's always worth half a chuckle to see a Toyota emblazoned with "TRD"...

So the real question is, does it actually have a manual transmixer? It's called a "Hurst" for f*ck's sake but nobody is saying anything about the tranny!

Valvoline link indicates 5 speed slush box, but not the manufacturer.

Motortrend link indicates a "new Hurst dual-gate shifter", but not if a stick or slush box.

The original "Hurst dual-gate shifter" was used in the '97 GTO automatic I used to have. One side typical auto Park-Reverse-Neutral-Drive, with the other side having gated Slap Shift thru the gears.
